with tho many migrant usurpations
of Executive power that hnvo been

which is pending in the Senate to-day
is to condono nn offense, or rathor n

of a sovereign State of tho Union, nnd
by Hie Btrong mm ol inHitary power
instullcd in ollieo n Ciovernor who had
no shadow of claim to exercise the
function of his ollicc. For two years
this fraud und usurpation was main
tained with tho military power of tho
Government, under tlio direction of!
General (.runt, and ull tho influence
and authority of the Federal Govern
ment exerted to prevent tho people
of Louisiana from freeing themselves
of thin odious und oppressive tyranny
ly tho lieucelnl oxamsooi their rights
as freemen at tho ballot-box, and when,
hi spito of fraud and intimidation, tho
people of that Slate elected, by nn

would have enabled them poucrably to
have righted their wrong, General
(rant ordered from the liir Northwest
one of his trusty catnips, and delegated
to nun more power than the Cutr of
all tho ltusHiu over gave to ono ol his
military governors ot l'olnnd. Under
tho eye of this lieutenant a 11 le of sol
dier marched into the legislative hall
and, at the poiul of tho bayonet, drove
out the chosen representatives of tho
pcoplo of Louisiana. To justify, to
ratily mid confirm nil these monstrous
act, tho Republican Senators concocted
in secret caucus tlio resolution which
was reported to the Senate on Satur
day lost. It wn on thi all-important
quention, ono vital to American liliorty
and constitutional government the
world over, that Andrew Johnson was
to sneak to-day. Under these circum

An hour heforo the Henato convened
tho galleries were packet!. Every
Senator in Washington wits in his scat
when the Iminmcr ot the president
fell, at high noon, culling the body to
order. Kows ot chair wort) rnngctl
buck of tho Senators' desk to accom
modate the persons entitled to the priv
ilege ol tho tloor. llio diplomatic gul
lery was tilled with representatives ol
loreign tiiivcrnnients and tho wive
nnd Ininilica of the member of tho
Cabinet. Never during tho most cx
citing days of tho impeachment trial
wan there a larger or more lirtlliant
nwcniblngo gathered In tho Senate
Chamber thuu tho one brought thither
to-day. 1 he Journal ol haturdny wa

Senator lloulwell relolivo to ailimirii

prov 1(1111(5 tor the payment of tlio page
and then the I resident pro tcm. nn
noiinced that tho Senate had resumed
tho consideration of unfinished business
and tho Senator from Tennessee wob
entitled to tho floor. In nn instant
tho hum of conversation in the gal
leries wn hushed. There was such
death like stillness In tlio chamber that
tho rustle of a paper dropped from tho
reporter gallery smote palnlnliy on
the ovorslrnincd ear. Mr. Johnson
hnd a moment before quietly emerged
from a clonk-room wuithor ho had re
treated, when hia entrance to th. Sen
ato Chnmher few moment before
twelve, was tho signal for an outburst
of applause. Ho now rose from his
M-at, bat for full two minute hi fool
ing" nvfrmBtcvwl him llowj well
CLEARFIELD,
they might I Whut thought must
hnvo coino crowding upon his mind.
Tho lust great occasion ou w hich he
hud addressed tho Sennto was In 1801,
w hen tho very air ho breathed was
surcharged with tho oleetricity of tho
coming revolution, ilo then utiereu
solemn word of warning to those of
his misguided nssociulos, who were
rashly tempting llio demon of civil
strife. He hnd gone out of publio lifu
buck to the people he lovod, and with
heroic courago struggled to keep them
true to tho Union ho loved bo well.
Dangers wero bruved, tnunt endured
and sacrifices inuile hy him which he
might onsily have escaped.
ilut ho was of tho breed of heroes,
and rocked littlo of tho cost when
duty impelled him to action. Im
pressed with tho high responsibilities
lo which he had been called, devotedly
attached to Iho Constitution ol his
country, find Inspired by tho purest
and most putriotie motives, ho earnest
ly strove to rebuild tlio scat tci eil temple
and restore peace nnd harmony uud
good-feeling to nil the loud, wild, liiu
atic made r.ealots, unscrupulous dema
gogues uud ruck lent party lender, in
tent only on Hclf-nggraiidiieinuiit, being
unulilo lo swerve him from his firm
purpose, determined to sacrifice him to
tho Moloch of their ambitions and
hale. They failed, hut they henped
obloquy uud scorn on hi heud und
made his name a by-word throughout
tho land. For seven long nnd weary
years tho tide rnn strong, but nt length
it fumed.
Tho people uguiu found their reason,
uud ho stood in tho Senate Chamber
to-duy lo again utlor solemn words of
warning, which tho country will hoed,
oven it the timid Senator w ho fuwii
tit tho feet of Grunt will not. A graini
er example of personal triumph over
partisan hale and bigotry is not re
corded in history than was this day
vout hsal'cd to Andrew Johnson. The
spoceh itself was worthy of the man
and occasion. It was full of points,
nnd will go straight to tho popular
heart. It is ono, too, that tho Radical
lenders feel tho necessity of answering
ns host they cnn. They had proudly
nnd tauntingly told their opponents
that they did not propose to discuss
tlio resolution which they introduced,
Hint they meant to leave the talking
to the other side of tho Chamber, but
such a terrific arraignment of their
chciftuin, a is set forth in Mr. John
son's speech, cannot he left standing
without a word in reply. Therefore
they have delegated this duly to Mor
ton, and soon nller Mr. Johnson closed,
Hint worthy hurried off to his room lo
prepare for this task to-morrow. Ilo
will find it no easy disk, and, wilh. all
his zest for combats, tho great radical
lender will, beforo this debute is closed,
rcnliiio that tho day has gone by when
mere abuse can bo measured ugniust
logic nnd fucts.

Snturduy s proceedings, Mr. jiotitwcll
submitted a resolution providing for
tho final adjournment of the Senate on

gave notice that he would cull it up

especially in those who aro unacquaint
ed with inc. It such an influence, or
such an expectation hns been raised, J
do not think 1 will justify it, nud they
will lio greatly disappointed on this oc
casion. It was not my intention,
when this question was first brought
beforo the Semite, to participate in tho
discussion. My entrance In the Scnnte
was of so recent a ditto, and under
such peculiar circumstances, that I de
termined that 1 would not participate
in nny discussion during tho present
session of the Sennto, but thing hnvo
taken such a direction that I feel it in
cumbent upon me to sny something in
relerenco lo this resolution now under
consideration, and whnt 1 mny sny on
this occasion I want it distinctly nn
dersood grow out of no party bias or
partisan Iceiing, nut ll is upon the
ground that the resolution proposes to

of tho land and without authority :
that being so, 1 cannot give my con
sent to the resolution, and will he com

proper that I should give some reason
why l cannot give u my vote.
Till RKSUI.irTION NOT IN ORDER AT THIS
SESSION.
Ill the first place, Mr. President, il
seems to me that the consideration of
a resolution embracing questions of
such grave importunes is not legiti
mately beforo this body. In other
words, it is nut legitimate to consider
it beforo a Senate convened a this
hns boon convened. I understand that
this Senate has boon convened in Ex
ecutive session for tho purpose mainly
of acting upon Exccutivo business, not
embracing questions of legislation but
simply to net upon business pertaining
to tho Exocutivo Department. The
Senate being a part of the treaty-making
power and also having to confirm
and ratify or reject all nominations
that may bo made. This I consider
tho legitimate business of the Sennto
during this session, hut it is assumed
now to havo the Senato take charge of
measures that look to legislation, that
look lur beyond this, and it it Is legiti
mate to act upon tlie measure now
under consideration hy this body it is
legitimate to consider overy act
and evory question upon which
tho administration has acted since
its advent Into nower. It would
be as legitimato to offer a resolution,

that might ho enumerated. It does
not seem tu mo to bo traveling much
further out of the record for tho Exocu-
tivo to como forward and presume to

for the Lesiglntura to como forward
and approve of the act of tho I'rosl
dent. Ordinary measures aro presented
for the consideration of Congress, and
whon they are acted upon it is the
duty of tho President to consider them
nnd to approve thorn or reject thorn.

BICII ACTION CONTRARY To PRECEDENT.
Wo remember very" well, I presume
every Henulor hero will remember the
resolutions llmt wore brought forward,
yennmgn, by the distinguished Sena
tor from Kentucky, llr. Clny, with
reference to ticneml Jackson. Tho
resolutions condemning him for remov
ing tho defendants, condemning nnd
censuring him in strong terms. Both
Houses of Congress then wero together
sitting us tho legislative department of
tho (iovernnient, and, notwithstand
ing tho Sennto passed these resolutions,
it was considered, and was determined
by tho country afterwards that theso
woro illegitimate, as it was not in tho
xiwer ot the Senato to pass upon the
Kxccutivc. unless they were sitting as
a Court of Impeachment. Hut now
Ave aro called upon in tho Senato to
approve of tho acts of tho President of
tho United States. Tho action in ref
erence to tho resolution that was
adopted condemning General Jackson
w hen ho wns rresulent ot the united
States, and when both Houses woro in
session, and when they wero conveued
under tho provisions ol tho Coustitu-
lon, nnd when they wero acting in
their legislative capacity, repudiated
the notion of the .Semite, and years af
terwards these resolutions were ex
punged from llio journal of the Sennto.
Now, it seems to me, that should settle
the question most clearly that we hnve
no authority to net. upon a resolution
of this kind, nnd especially so in the
nhsenco of tho other House. Thore
are ninny things that are as legitimate
for us to express nn opinion upon as
this resolution.
WHAT DOES THIS RESOLUTION TKOPOSE?
It seems that it hns required great
cure to prepare it. Tho tirst ono in
troduced by tho senator tram Indiana
(Morton) was drawn up in somewhat
broader terms, perhaps too broad for
some members of tho Sennto to sup
port. ThonthoScnntor for Now Jersey
( Frclinghuyscii) introduced a resolu
tion, seemingly not so brand as the
ono introduced by the Senator from
Indiana. 11 seems to narrow it down
to be almost an abstract idea tbat when
wo como to get at ill substance the
resolutions are tho sumo, a mere modi
fication in tho matter of verbiage to
suit tho particular views of some iudi
viduuls, nnd it docs not affect tho sub
stance in tho slightest degree. It is
simply calling upon the Senate to ex
press an opinion with relerenco to
Exccutivo conduct in tho organisation
ot tho Stnto government of jxniisiana,
and approve of that action. Now the
query come up, wunl lias ueen the
courso of tho (iovernmeiit with refer
ence to cases of this kind. I will refer
to one fiir the sako of making an in
troduction to what I am going to say.
THE TENNESSEE PRESII'ENT.
Mr. Johnson then related Iho his
tory of tho struggle between tho Gov
ornoi and tho Legislature of Tennessee
in lebb. nnd continuing said : ".Now
horo is the precise enso that you havo
in Louisiana. Here Is a struggle be
tween tho Governor and the contend
ing members tor seals In the Legisla
ture. Ilut tho main issue is between
the Legislature and tho Governor. It
is conceded by nil who have spoken
on the subject that the military were
those obeying tho behests of the Gov
ernor to organize tho Legislature, und
to organize the Legislature that tavuruu
him. Now whnt wn dono in tho case
that I havo referred toT Thore wits
nn attempt to force member to act on
the Legislature by tho Governor re
fusing to accept their resignations. It
wus not for him to organize the Leg
islature, it wn not lor the Governor
to' compel tho attendance of absent
member. Tho Governor applied to
the military commander of the district
for nssislanco in bringing tho fugilivo
members hnck to their scuts, nnd tho
following correspondence took place.
Goneral Thomas wus then in command
of that department, and ho wns induced
by tho (inventor to apply to the Gcn
erul ol the nrmy here nt that time for
military nid to nid Govornon Drownlow
tn organize the Legislature.
This dispatch wa brought to the
Secretary of War nnd Iho Scerctnry of
War brought it to the President of tho
'.'tilted States, nnd tho lollowing dis
patch wn prcpurcd and forwarded to
General Thomas to which I call tho
attention of tho Senntc.
Wasiiinoton, D. C, July 17, 1RG0.
General Grant will instruct Gcnoral
Thomas that the fucts stated in his
telegram do not warrant tho interfer
ence of the military. The administra
tion of lawn, nnd the preservation of
pcaco in aNuhIiviIIo belong properly to
the Sluts authorities, and the nuty ot
the t inted States authorities Is not to
interfere in any way In tho controversy
between tho iiublie authorities of Iho
State, and General Thomas will strictly

URANT WAS NOf ln.1C.RANT OF III DUTY.
Here is a luwise case, nnd Hint was
tho action ol the Government. It wn
believed that it wa a civil strife and a
contest between twotlivisions of thociril
government, nnd was a raso, a slated
in tho telegram sent hack to General
Thomas, similar tn tho one in Louisi
ana. That dispatch was signed by tho
Scored MT of V nr, and was written in
the presence of the President, and sent
tn General Grant tn send to General
Thomas. Ho wns told that th's was
not a enso cnlling for the Interference of
tho military, and ho (General Thomas)
should abstain from inference under
any circumstances whatever. It would
seem that this marks tho lino between
the civil and military authorities there.

HtRlDAN'l FnEVIOUSJ DEIIAVIOR IN
NEW ORLEANS.
lint there is anothor fact or circum
stance iu this lino of thought, a great
fact, as I conceive it, and that is, in
1867 Gen. Sheridan was in command
of the Fifth Military District as it wna
called at tliut time. In oonsequenceof
his management in that district ho pro
duced so much dissatisfaction and such
wns hi officious interference and such
wero hia oppressive acts, there was one
general wail, ono unanimous murmur
came nil from that section of tho coun
try and that was for his removal, lie
was removed from tlio command. It
will bo remomborodj I know, by most
riersoiiH, and especially hy Senntors
lent, that when General Hancock took
command some of the persons who had
been removed from office by General
Sheridan were reinstated, that pence
and quiet were restored, general wttis
fuction wns given, and General Han
cock, in nn order addressed to tho peo
plo of that Si ato, Inid down tho true
dividing line between militnry and civil
supremacy. When this order was
mado t hero sprung upa controversy be
tween tho Executive and the General
of tho Army, tho latter protesting
ngnist the removal of General Sheri
dan, saying he was a very popular man
and wus following tho will of tho peo
ple, but notwithstanding this assertion,
which was a mere assertion, bo was
not reinstated. At that time the poo-'
plo of Louisiana appeared to bo in a
disturbed condition, and most of the
antagonism seems lo have resulted from
General Sheridan' manngemont.
THE THIRD TKBM PLOT,
Now tho query como up in this dis
tracted condition of affair in Louisi
ana: Why is it, I nsk, hns this man
been selected and sent back to this
peoplo, who before condemned him and
prayed for hiaromovalT -Why is it
t lint lie was sent back thorot It was
known that ho wn the source of irri
tation and dissatisfaction when ho was
thore beforo, and yet he wns sent again
n mnn who is obnoxious to the whole
country, except n fow persons who mny
havo been interested in a particular
line of policy, or measures, or some
thing they wanted to uccomplish. Why
hns he been sent there T V as it for the
purposo of irritating them? Was it
lor tho purposo of driving tho people to
act of violence T Was it for tho pur
poso of getting up insurrections, mobs
and riots, and then tho cry was to be
raised that tho Southern people were
in revolt, and in tho midst of that cry
and tho prejudice of ono part of the
country being incited against another,
to go into a Presidential election T It
is very easy to see what the result
would be. No. Let us have peace!
I know the determination of that peo
ple. Their groat object is to be restor
ed I lack into the Union upon an equal
f siting with all tho other States, and
that is all that they desire, and a fair
participation in tho legislation of the
country. 1 will tell some of those who
are acting behind the curtain and who
aro clinging to power, that It cannot
be obtained by popular onnsent and the
approval of their publio acta here.
We will have a terrorism, and in tho
midst of excitement, and in tho midst
of a war cry, they will triumphantly
rido into tho Presidency tor a third
Presidential term, and whon this shall
havo been accomplished that will he tho
end of the liberties of this country.
rAnnlaiise in tho iralleries.l
The President ;iro tern, informed the
galleries that It is in violation of the
rules of the Senate to expreas approv
al or disapproval of tho proceedings of
tho Henato, and directed the sergeant-at-arms
to put sufficient force in the
gnllories to preserve order.
Till GREEKS BEAR1NO GUTS.
Mr. Johnson resuming, saitl that it
wa his firm conviction that a third
term for President violatod the exam
ple of Washington, which has become
a part of tho Constitution by the ac
quiescence of tho pcoplo, who would
look upon its violation as a sacrilege.
Washington wanted to retire at tlie
cud ot tour yean, and wa only pre
vailed upon to bo a candidate by tho
peculiar condition of tho country and
tho demands of tho people. His ex
ample had boon pursued and followed
over since. It was, however, almost
out of order to refer to such a man as
Washington in times liko these. Ho
then proceeded to pay a high tribute
to tho character of tho first President
of this Republic, quoting from hi ad
dresses mid message to Congress.
Washington, bo said, received no more
while he was serving the country, ovon
in the army, than barely sufficed to
defray Ins expenses. We find a provi
sion eontuineii in thoConstittition which
declare that no title of nobilitv alinll
bo grunted to nny officer of tho United
btatos, nor snail any olllcer receive any
present or gill from any prince, poten-
bate or iineign power. What a fortu
nate thing it would havo been if, in the
formation of tho Constitution, whon
our mind Was directed to the other
side of tho water, and wo were con-
templnting what was most likely to
como Iroia that direction ll in tn last
clause, or to tho last line of this sec
tion of the Constitution wo had added,
"or any t!lizin of the United States,
for (hero is as much danger in gift
and present and gratuities from citi
zens ot th United statoa to publio nt-
noors us there as Irom prince and po
tentate of loreign powers. 11 ore it is
in our midst, and right amongst ns,
and if it bad suited at this time to in
troduce sumo proposition like that, a
resolution suggesting the propriety
or giving it aa the Senate a opinion
that the Constitution ought to be
amended in this way, it would be a
subject ol' important consideration
about that particular period. Why
not consider a subject like Ihat T Lot
the popular heart understand It, and
let it respond. It is time wa turnod
our attention to things like these. Hav
ing relerred to tbe case ol speaker
Wood, who was censured by Parlia
ment in 1U95, tor cvooepling a gratuity,
Mr. Johnson said he merely relerred to
it lor the purpose of making gcnoral
application to anybody who is guilty
of like conduct. This is what hngland
did with one of her speakers, who had
received it gratuity lor aiding the cor
poration of the city of Irondnn. Well,
when we get to
Till KEt.LOOO GOVERNMENT
in Louisiana, what do we find there ?
Do we find a rase like tho one I call
the attention of tho Senate to, and then
do wa find the action to correspond
with the course then taken, we And
when wo get to Louisiana that Kollogg
cornea in as Oovornor, and bow ? Tho
committee of ablo gentlemen of this
Senate mado a report Tn referonoe to M r.
Kellogg and in reference to the gov
ernment of lionlsian. In tho con-
elusion of their report thoy sny : "It
cannot be maintained that it proper
oxorciso violates tho rights ol thublitU'S,
because the States hnve no protection
or security from fraud or violence with
out calling upon tho National Govern
ment, and tne uovornmom cannot re
fuse or neglect toexorcise it in a proper
case. 1 he condition ot tho peoplo ot
Louisiana la substantially one ol an
archy and it becomes tlie duty of Con
gress to act in the premises when wo
como to examining that clauso of tho

it ia not the Exocutivo; that it is not
the Senate; that it is not tho Honso of
Representatives, but thnt tho United
States shall guarantee to every Statu
in this Union a Republican lorm of
government.
HAS THE PRESIDENT SITU POWER ?
I do not understand him to be the
United Stnte; docs that provision
anthorlzo tho Executive upon bi own
volition to go and tnko charge in per
son or by his agent some man selected
from tho army of the government of a
State. No, sir; there is no such thing
in tho Constitution, and tho interfering
in tho Stnto of Louisiana in tnking of
that Government is a palpable viola
tion of tho Constitution of the United
States. Tho commiltoo, in their res
olution, sny: "Therefore, your com
mittee recommend tho adoption ot the
following resolution : Resolved, That
there is no State government at present
existing in tho State of Louisiana."
There is no State Government existing
in the Stnto of Louisinnn, hence the
power of Congress. Tho Stato has
reached that point in which she shows
bur incapacity to govern herself, and
tho committee ably arguo that it must
be a very extreme case for even Con
gress to act in tho matter. I should
think that in a great enseof emergency,
when a stnto wns in anarchy and nil
was confusion nnd disorder, there
might (HMwibly arise a caso in which
the Government of tho United States,
according in tho forms of law and Con
stitution, might puss upon and save
thorn from nnnrchy nnd disorder. Hut
tho case must ho nn extreme one nnd
the interference must bo well consid
ered beforo it is done. Hut how is it
in this case? Tho President of the
United Stntcs assumes to take com
mand of tho Stnto and give thoso peo
plo a government.
WHAT ME PRESIDENT SAVS.
What does ho say himself right ou
thnt point ? "It hns been generally

proceedings should bo looked over ;
nut the President comes along, finds
tho usurper in power, and take it up.

have Inaugurated a state ot tilings
which will result in the overthrow ef i

tion together and is a foundation of tho
Uovornment.
A MONSTROrS WRONO.
Mr. Johnson then proceeded to re
view and analyze the action of tho Sen
ate Committee on tho Louisiana mat-
tor, and the report ik hnd mado. Re
ferring to the resolution, he said : Is
not this monstrous ? Why, tho timo
has been in this country, and since my
recollection, too, that if an net like
this, If tho usurpation like this had
been attempted, it would havo produced
a shock throughout tho nation, the
nation would hnvo been indignant from
ono extreme to the other, ana would
havo boon ready to burl from power
the perpetrator ot such an act Con
tinning, ho said thnt anch a liolicy, if
adhered to, would bring tho country a
change in the present features of its
government, ltclurning to Sheridan

pondenco botwecn them prior to the
visit ot the former to row urlcnns.
Inst winter. Ilo said Sheridan trip
wo more like a pleasure iiian any
thing else, and thnt ho went accompan
ied by a retinue ot oincors with glitter
ing swerds, tn lot the people two t heir
splendor as the representatives of Gen
eral Grant. The iluspatchcs of General
Sheridan and the President, the general
orders ot tho former, and tlio instruc
tions of the latter, were taken up, one
after the other and criticised, licsuni
ing his argument ho said : Horo is a
Gcnoral of the Army who is sent hack
to tho pcoplo that repudiated him with
authority to go and look ovor this
country and to mark himself out an
empire, prescribe the limits of his gov
ornment or what ho shall take under
control. Ho marks out tho area, he
describes the point and limit of his
command; his power is absolute as
that of an Emperor. In all thoso pro
ceedings does anybody see anything of

General Shcrmnn all this time? Per

dan is placed in direct connection with

though clothed in silk, is laid upon us.
If you do not do so and so, I will do it.
If the resolution under consideration
inquired in regard to this threat into

as tn is it would bo more legitimato
thnn tho one now under consideration,
which is for its ondorsoment, hfneo wo
goo how this power travels. An em

a militnry chief. Then w e como nlong
to tho Forco bill, then we como nlong
to the endorsement by congress, and,
looking ovor those things, wo inquire
whnt lies behind nil this? Don't we
see that the chnngo of opinion, that
the chnngo of position, must be for

I III the lunguago of Webster, lot this

all upon nn equal fooling. Let pence

republican government to an imperial
military despotism, iu w hich tho Sen
ate hnd only to consent to the act of
the Kxccutive. In tho course of his
remarks ho snid that history was full
of warning on tho subject of Cfesnrism,
und proceeded lo sketch tho origin and
meaning of tho term, as illustrated by
tho career of Ca-sar, Cromwell and the
two Napoleons. Ho was Interrupted
by Air. ftnrgenl, w ho asked turn "it tho
sumo idea, tho sumo argument, was
not in tho mind of Wilkes Booth when
be flourished hi bloody dngger on tho
stage of Ford's theatro?" Mr. Bogy
replied thnt the question was a very
imprnier one. Tho word "imperti
nent" should not bo used by a Senator
but ho would sny that tho quostion wns
not pertinent. Novertblus ho would
answer it. Not having boon in sym
pathy with Dooth ho wns unablo to
say what was in his mind. But the
quostion suggested tlio remark thnt all
men in all ages, who have aimed at
tho destruction oftho liberties of their
country havo first impressed upon tlio
mind of the country thnt their person
was in danger, and, therefore, thoy
hnd to ho protected by guards to pro
vent thoir person from being assailed.

Mr. Thurmun nt 4:15 moved to ad

notice, however, thut he would cull

Tho Now York .Sua snys: "All the

destruction is the hardihood with
which it lendors in Congress hnve not

A man slightly pretentious, fond
of display, and somewhat ignorant, re
cently culled tho attention of some
visitors to a showy carpet on ono of
